Episode 78: Assembly of the Legendary Heroes! Final Battle of the Digimon All-Stars!!

The penultimate episode seen!

I don't want to run out of breath, so I'll be going step by step with this review.

Spoiler for Digimon Hunt:

Seriously, we didn't need the old Clockmaker's explain as to the reason he started the Digimon Hunt, that was bunch of stuff crammed together in one single episode, but it makes sense that Taiki shouldn't have participated in the game.

His role in this season was already determined to take place as the sixth Digital heroe, and all they needed was to settle for the Hunter representative to get the Brave Snatcher.

Spoiler for Xros Heart United Army returns and upgraded:

Yes, the old bunch from Xros Wars previous series got a reunion, and what's more Akari and Zenjirou were officially given their own Xros Loaders and Digimon partners from amongst their old pals to boot in the battle.

Spoiler for All Digimon references found in Quartzmon:

It originally was created from the ever expanding power of the human world's digital network. - Tamers

It has copied itself all around the world to lead a massive strike attack. - Digimon Adventure.

It basically is bent on deleting the human race off the face of the Earth. - Savers

It drew wild digimon from the Digital World into DigiQuartz to interfere with the human world. - Digimon Adventure 02 and Savers.

The Hunter representative along with the six heroes gathered need to retrieve the Brave Snatcher left from Baguramons' remains. - Xros Wars

And, it was all along an expected surprise that TOEI will sooner or later pull all the characters from the previous digimon series for a big, smash reunion. I mean they did for other franchises like Kamen Rider and Pretty Cure, for example.
And, the insert song, "We are the Legend Heroes" was top score to listen to.

I feel like overall, this has been the weakest series in the whole franchise. I do understand that they might have done it just for the sake of gathering all the heroes but still it could use a bit more of action.

Not for nothing, but like 90 percent of this season was filler. What exactly were they trying to accomplish with this? It should've just ended after they defeated bugramon. Bringing back all the old characters was no excuse for this.

Silly me for thinking the series had a shot at redemption, with the old protagonists appearing. It'd be a shame if this terrible excuse for a season of Digimon prevents future seasons from happening. The franchise should not end on such a terrible note.

I still kind of enjoyed the episodic nature of the non-ending episodes. Not that I didn't want anything to happen, and I will admit that with some exceptions (FlaWizarmon episode comes to mind) the series was lacking the epicness that Xros Wars had. And I will also admit that the ending sucked (I haven't even SEEN the ending yet). I will even admit that it's best to treat this season as Ret Gone. And as I said, I have a severe beef with the series' writer to make Super Evolution so cheap and available to everyone. It totally lacked the "specialness" that the evolutions to OmegaShoutmon and ZeekGreymon had.

But I will not dislike Tagiru. Ever. A lot of the DigiXroses were nice to look at too.

I'm not entirely hot on Xros Wars either, after it got into the generals arc, it all felt kinda cheap. At least before it made the digiworld timeskip, it was kinda genuine. In my opinion, the final battle with Tactimon was the peak of the entire series. Of course the first half of Xros Wars wasn't entirely faultless either, I kinda felt iffy whenever they used digimemories. However, the first half was also somewhat inoffensive, as opposed to the generals arc and xros wars 2, the latter of which was just a jumbled messed. I wonder if they intended this to be the final hurrah for digimon anime, as they brought back all of the previous heroes. It doesn't seem like they're in any place to celebrate some anniversary for digimon, unlike kamen rider and super sentai were when they did their crossover shows, so the crossover felt more like a send off than anything else.
